Where does design inspiration come from? The answer is: anywhere, and the best designs are inspired by the most unlikely things. For example, this fanciful starship that I designed as a freshman in high school in December, 1979 was based on a light fixture. Every time I looked at that light fixture, I saw a starship. One day I sat down a drew it, and got it out of my system. After that, it was just a light fixture.
